Japanese Garden Floss Toss


Here is my floss toss for my first Chatelaine- Japanese Garden. Although I am still missing a few colors, due to a backorder, I am not waiting until they come in to begin. I hope to start tonight or tomorrow. Also missing from the floss toss is all the beads. Since I am using a Q-snap as a frame, I won't be beading until the very end, I have for now put off buying the beads.

I am not using NPI silk, due to it's price. Instead I used Vikki Clayton Silks (see HDF link on the right). The rest of the colors I kept the same. The Fabby is Silkweavers 28 ct. cashel linen Mississippi Blue.

Hiatus

Well I had a bit of a hiatus from stitching. I haven't stitched since the last entry here. That's okay, it's good to have a small break every so often, but I am really itching to get back into it.

Both Mistress and Robin Blue are calling to me........ So it's anyone's guess which I will work on next.


The last of my japanese garden chatelaine threads are coming in the next week or so. When I get them I will do a floss toss.

Weekend SAL

I have only managed 500 Stitches in Mistress this weekend, I wanted to do much more, but least I got 500 in. I am hoping to get a chance to stitch tomorrow.

No more meds

went to the female doctor for a preconception visit. She was very nice, told her of the PTSD, and anxiety. Unfortuantly none of my meds are okay. Ambien a baby can be born addicted to, and Celexa may cause issues, I'd rather be safe than sorry. So I am weaning off that starting tomorrow. The only thing I can take other than benadryl and Tylenol is welbutrin, although that is mostly for depression and doesn't help much with anxiety, but I will try it. So I am stuck with just not having anything. I am quite scared about this, but I will do it (n- says that is the definition of being brave).I sure don't feel brave.

Stitching is one thing that does help anxiety, so I may be stitching more for awhile!
